About Paxos

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like Mastercard, Visa, Robinhood, and PayPal.

About the role

In addition, you will support the CEO and CFO on the end-to-end fundraise processes, working closely with the executive team to tell the Paxos story to the right capital partners at the right time.

You will be expected to bring a point of view on where the market is going, develop investment theses working with the executive and product leadership, source independently, move deals forward to execution with conviction, and work cross functionally to ensure successful outcomes post close. Your job is to make sure we’re always looking around corners and that the right opportunities don’t pass us by.
